(DROPPED)

While looking out of my car side window my excitement begins to show as I start to wiggle in my car seat. Outside my window I see our new home after an hour of driving. I knew it was our new home because it was bright blue just like the pictures my parents showed me last week. It had two stories and I was told hundreds of rooms for me to run around and play in. The yard was as far as my little eyes could see and it had a giant green shed right outside as well. My daddy is going to store all his tools for wood making. He promised me he would make me a nutcracker for Christmas, he even said he was going to paint it this time too, but I know that he just sends it to Santa and has the elves paint it. He looks up towards the mirror and begins to slow down.

“Look Bzzzt our new home. Your mom and I just know you will love it here.”

I spring open my eyes and try to figure out what is going on. Where am I and why am I on the floor? Dust is everywhere and I can’t seem to move. I see something vaguely in front of me and realize that it is the old hoe in the rotten shed. What was I doing in the shed? My eyes slowly begin to close again.

Today my friends from preschool had come over. We played all day in the backyard and around the barn. I was the seeker and found each and every one of them. They don’t come over often because of how far away from the city we live, but I do love it when they do. It was time for them to go now and Mommy said I have to say goodbye. I started to wave at the other children as they climb into their parents vehicles. It is going to be sad all alone here by myself again.

“We’ll come visit again Bzzzt. Bye Mr. and Mrs. Bzzzzzt.”

Well they always do come to visit us so I can stand being lonely for just a little while longer. My Mommy starts talking with Daddy.
